Results from Aerosol Measurement in Amine Plant Treating Gas Turbine and Residue Fluidized Catalytic Cracker Flue Gases at the CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad

Abstract This work discusses the relation between flue gas particle content, mainly related to sulfuric acid aerosols and dust, and corresponding MEA emissions. The work lays grounds for future necessary pre-treatment options for various flue gases with high aerosol content in order to operate post-combustion amine plants with minimum emissions. In 2015, the CO 2 Technology Center Mongstad (TCM DA), operated a test campaign using aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) solvent at 30 wt%. The main objective was to demonstrate and document the performance of the TCM DA Amine Plant located in Mongstad, Norway. Two weeks were dedicated to the aerosol measurement testing.
